In 2015, the L16 seemed pretty crazy. But today, with smartphones like the Huawei P20 Pro (pictured at the top of this article) sporting three lenses working together to create high-quality images, it seems much less insane.

Light might have just been ahead of the curve with its product idea, but now that we're getting more used to the concept of multiple-lensed cameras, the company is working to bring a new smartphone to the world that will sport anywhere from five to nine lenses.

Cameras on smartphones are a much bigger deal than they used to be. Companies are chomping at the bit to make their cameras more reliable, work better in low light, and add features that people want. …

According to an article in The Washington Post, Light has multiple prototypes in the pipeline it is testing for launch sometime this year. Light claims that with its multiple-lenses on a phone, users could capture 64MP shots. Wow.

However, to get that technology you'd better be ready to pay up, as the Light L16 starts at nearly $2,000. While these prototype smartphones have a fewer number of lenses – and will thus likely be less expensive than the L16 – you probably won't be buying one of these future Light smartphones for less than a grand.

What do you think? Would you buy an ultra-expensive smartphone that could very well replace your DSLR? Let us know in the comments!

Unlike most phones we review, the Palm Phone does not claim to be the equal of another device. It doesn't even necessarily claim to be good. The Verizon-exclusive Palm Phone is billed as a companion to the phone you actually like using. A phone that's minimalist and limited by design can't be "good" in the traditional sense, but can it be bad in a way that you still might want one? Sadly, no.The TCL-made Palm Phone is fascinating because of how odd it is. So many phones these days are predictable and boring, but this one is at least interesting. It's not interesting enough to buy at $350, though, and certainly not when you can only get it as a secondary device on your already spendy Verizon line.Design, hardware, what's in the boxThe Palm Phone is an almost impossibly small phone. It's like a relic from that time before modern smartphones when everyone wanted to make devices as small as possible. If a phone was tiny, it was probably pretty expensive. …
